THE CITY's WATER FAMINE.
Twenty Hours Without Water Except
from the Pumps.

The city was full of complaining people
yesterday. They wanted water, and they
had difficulty in getting it. The cooks
couldn't get water to cook with, the engi-
neers at the railway depots couldn't get
water for their engines, and the engineers
of stationary engines were in the same fix.
A good many people made out with cold
dinner, and not few, rather than run the
risk of getting no dinner at all at home, dined
at the hotels. There was a very general in
curry as to why it was necessary to turn
the water off for so long time. However,
when the water was turned on again at $50
o'clock, there was a general disposition to
forget the annoyances that the want of
water had caused.
Chief Fireman Fernandez, with steamer
and a detachment of men from
the fire department, filled the tanks on top
of the MORNING NEWS building yesterday
morning. The steamer was placed at the
river and line of hose extended up the
bluff and across Bay street, thence up Whit
aker, where it was connected with the fire
plug on the lower floor of the NEWS build
ing The water was forced through the
pipes to the. tank under the roof
1t is not often that such an emergency
arises as to have the entire water supply of
the city shut off for SO long time as it was
yesterday and the night previous. Fortu-
nately for the MORNING NEWS its arrange
ments are such that with the assistance of
the fire department it was able to keep up
its water supply The MORNING NEWS
tenders its thanks to Acting Mayor Schwarz,
Chief Fernandez and the members of the
fire department for their prompt and cheer
full assistance

before o'clock the signal was given.

dead calm. Towards night a fresh breeze
spraug up and lasted until the race

the May, 4" in the third class, and between the

''Glance" and the "Vernonn is one of the
closest on record. The following is the
official time:

aground inside the bell buoy, where she lay
until high water, when she foated off and
reached the club house little before z

eggs fell on the steamers decks After the
return to the club house the members enter

thought. His friends regarded him
as a born politician. He was more,
for he soon strobe far above
the level of simple politics, and en-
tered the realm of statecraft. AS far back
as 1868 he was secretary of state Of New
York, to attain which post it was neces-
sary for him to reverse the Democratic
majority that made Seymour governor,
which he did, with 10000 votes to spare.
He was then as ever worker, and dur
ing canvass most exciting and absorb
ing he spoke daily, in the afternoon and
again at night. As secretary Of state
his record was clean, businesslike, adj
mirable. A reelection was matter of
course, but he declined it, and then,
being appointed minister to Japan, after
holding the commission few weeks, he
resigned in consequence of the impera-
tive demands of his rapidly increasing
business.
He was bred, I say, to the law.
But although pleasing and a ready
speaker, with anecdotes and quick retorts
and repartees at the tip of his tongue,
with superabundant good nature, and
that faculty of understanding man which
would have made him a frst-class jury
advocate, he preferred rather the dryer,
more intricate and perhaps more prohta'
BILE line of his profession, which led him
into the service of the great railroad OF
which he is now the president. 50 sig
nificant was his service at the time Van
derbilt made his acquaintance and from
thence on, say from 1855 until the present
date. that his rise was mere question
of time and opportunity. He was not
only the attorney Of the consolidated
roads. but in 1875 accepted the position
of general counsel, becoming also d.
rector in the Central and in all the great
Vanderbilt connections, such as the Chi
cago and Northwestern, the st. raul ana
Omaha. the Michigan Central, and the
MCKEE Plate, which led up in 1882, upon
the reorganization of the roads, to his
annointment as second vice president.
The three generations of Vanderbilt with
whom he has served-the old commodore,
William H. and the present reglme-1uliiy ~,
appreciated his great ability, ana oio an
